they got fined for changing the whole team barr one, man utd, chelsea and arsenal to my recolection havent made so many changes unless they've got a cup final coming up and even then i dont think they've made so many changes. do you have a permanant hard-on for the big boys or is it just when your bored you decide to attack them ? get a grip man, hey i have a tennis ball with fernanda's face on it...........................go on..............................fetch.........................lo​l

i do agree that its bollocks they get fined

Sky Sports report that Liverpool have rejected a bid from Chelsea for Fernando Torres.

i wonder if he will put in a transfer request ?

I would not anticipate that he would

i bet thats what blackpool fans were saying about charlie adams

Very different circumstances as we all know

Why have a 25 man squad if you're not allowed to use them?

Exactly my thoughts.

The selection of exactly how many "2nd choice" players constitutes a weakened team anyway = 6,7,8,9? - If a manager wants to drop the entire team he should be allowed to do so.

Also, what if the 'weakened' team win, do they still get fined? Or is it only when they draw/lose?
